Delicious!

Blog Standard, not Bog Standard




Welcome to any new British readers of Delicious magazine who might have found this blog through the new March issue's "Blog Standard" feature. You can find out more about what we are about on this blog by reading my 'about' page. If you are looking for recipes, please scroll down the blog roll to your right to find the indices. And if you want to help me put English food on the world map, be sure to check back at the end of this month for an announcement about my 2007 St George's Day Food Celebration, "Fish & Quips". It's going to be a lot of fun.




Special thanks to my sweet friend Keiko for emailing me the article before the magazine had even apparently even hit the shop shelves. (My mum checked in Sainsbury's only yesterday and couldn't find it.) And congratulations to Johanna who was featured last month in the very first edition of Blog Standard.

    conga-rats! I would not mind crusading for English desserts myself. I love bird's custard (got the addiction from my husband who's dad is from England).. yumm

  7. OMG I've got some reading to catch up on! I've only just finished January's issue which was out in December! I love delicious! - not to mention the fact that it's Australian! And I'm so glad to hear that they've got a new blog feature! Good job, Sam!

    I am so buying this issue. Congratulations Sam!

  15. thanks everyone for the congratulations. English desserts - there is no doubt they need to be crusaded for, and even some other brit food too.
    homesick texan - the turnovers went down very well at last year's superbowl - you just need some patience with the filling part of the rocedure - as long as you give yourself enough time and don't overstuff them you will be ok.
    And for all the Aussies - I hope your version follows with the blog feature too because there are so many wonderful Australian food blogs.

  18. Congratulations, I usually buy delicious and this month's double whammy of you plus an article by Clothilde from Chocolate & Zucchini made it a perfect read!

  19. I found your blog here as I've a blog entitled 'the Bog Standard Blog' which some bloggers misspell as Blog Standard Blog. I'm always curious how the term 'Bog Standard' is used online.

    I'll be back again here to read about "Fish & Quips" :-)
